Escalation to Management

If your complaint has not been resolved within four weeks, or if you are dissatisfied with our response, you may escalate your complaint to a Team Manager:

Upon receipt of your complaint, the Manager will respond within five working days.

If, after your complaint has been escalated to a Manager, it still remains unresolved or you are dissatisfied with our response, then there are a few options available for you regarding how to take your complaint forward.

Escalation to Director

If you are not satisfied with the resolution offered, or if your complaint remains unresolved after six weeks, you can request a review at the director level. Please email regulation@utility-aid.co.uk; upon receipt of your email, you will receive a response from a director within five working days.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

If you have exhausted our escalation process, received a deadlock letter, or if your complaint remains unresolved after eight weeks, you may be eligible for support from the Energy Ombudsman through the ADR scheme. This service is free and impartial.
